One platform. Three ways in.
Whether you're listing your business, looking for one, or after your next role — here's exactly what happens, step by step.
-
Create your free account
Sign up in under a minute. No payment details needed until you're ready to choose a plan.
-
Choose your plan
Start with Listing & Community for $25/year, upgrade to Selling for $25/month when you're ready to sell, or go all in with Business + Gym for $50/month. Upgrade any time as you grow.
-
Build your business profile
Add your logo, photos, location, hours, and what makes your business worth knowing about. This is what people see when they find you.
-
Show up in the directory
Your listing goes live and becomes searchable by category and location — the first place people look when they need what you offer.
-
Get into the community
Join discussions, ask questions, share wins, and connect with other small business owners who actually get it.
Real people, real businesses. Small Business Connect is built for genuine small businesses — not resellers, not dropshippers, not bots. That's what keeps the directory worth browsing.

Search the directory
Browse by category or location to find small businesses near you — no account required to look around.

Check out a business profile
See what they offer, where they are, and what other people are saying before you reach out or buy.

Buy directly from local small businesses, knowing your money is going straight to the people who made it.

You're applying directly to the business owner — the same person you'd be working with.
